We know many things about the 1981 triple murder of Fred A. Alvarez, Patricia R. Castro and Ralph A. Boger. We know that the bagman for the hit, Jimmy Hughes, confessed. We know that a 2010 trial was interrupted when charges were abruptly dropped and evidence lost. We know from witness statements that the murders, which predated Danny Casolaro’s alleged suicide, could be connected to the corruption surrounding Wackenhut and the PROMIS affair. We know from the FBI’s own records that the Bureau looked into the matter. And most recently, we know that the FBI has not only repeatedly refused to release those files (despite DOJ telling them to do so) but apparently removed the request from their FOIA tracking system.

In early 1981, Fred Alvarez, a tribal vice president with the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians, started complained that money from the tribe’s casino was being skimmed. Witness statements and other evidence reveals that John P. Nichols Sr., who had, in addition to his claims of a CIA affiliation, long-established ties to organized crime, confessed to ordering the hit that resulted in the deaths of the Alvarez and the others in response. Subsequent investigations have linked their deaths to a network of corruption that included organized crime, arms trafficking, partnerships with Wackenhut private security, and the government-backed modification and distribution of stolen software. According to a previous FBI release, the matter was brought to the attention of the Bureau by the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Indian Affairs.

In response, the FBI Director requested that they follow-up on the matter and interview the reporters who seemed to have knowledge of the case.

According to the response sent to the Director, the Los Angeles field office did speak with journalists about the case, and were informed that they only wished to raise the issue so that it could be investigated.

The response to the Director concluded by noting that Nichols had previously plead guilty to commissioning an unrelated murder of two people he suspected of furnishing information.

In response to a FOIA request last year, the FBI took only nine days to respond by saying that the names of the murder victims and the general location and date of their death was not enough to perform a search. According to their letter, the FBI needed additional information, such as where the victims had previously worked, or what my basis was for thinking the FBI might have had an interest in them.

One might have thought that the request explicitly mentioning a murder they investigated might have made that pretty clear, but the Bureau didn’t agree. The matter was appealed to the Department of Justice’s Office of Information Policy, which discussed the situation with the Bureau and instructed them to perform a search.

In response, the FBI did nothing. After only three months, however, the FBI sent a new letter - almost exactly a year after their original refusal to perform the search. This letter is almost identical to the first letter, which the DOJ had already rejected on appeal, with two alterations: one sentence was added, and another put into bold. The FBI apparently felt that telling me that the request didn’t have enough information to make “a definitive identification” would somehow justify their need for knowing where the victims had worked prior to their murders.

Perhaps even more disturbingly, however, is the fact that the FBI appears to have - accidentally or not - deleted the request from their tracking system. An attempt to see what the status of the request is results in being informed that it is “not found in the database.”

Little did Jack or his regular listeners know that this would be Jack's final show.

Ironically, spent a good portion of this episode discussing the mysterious death of Washington based investigative journalist Danny Casolaro who died on August 10th, 1991. Casolaro had been writing a book with reems of information he had collected over many years about what he called "The Octopus". He had appeared exuberant to most of his friends before his death, noting that he was about to "wrap up" his investigation of The Octopus. Casolaro was trying to prove that the alleged theft of the Inslaw computer program, PROMIS, was related to the October Surprise scandal, the Iran-Contra affair and the collapse of BCCI (Bank of Credit and Commerce International) as well as CIA drug trafficing. Casolaro's body was found at 12:30 p.m. in a blood-filled bath tub by a hotel maid who called the Martinsburg (West Virginia) police. The body contained three deep cuts on the right wrist and seven on the left wrist, made by a single edge razor blade of the type used to scrape windows or to open packages. At the bottom of the bathwater was an empty beer can, a paper glass coaster, the razor blade and two white plastic trash bags. On the desk in the hotel room was an empty notebook with one page torn out and his alleged suicide note. There were no other papers, folders, documents of any sort, nor any briefcase found in the room. Danny's wallet with credit cards was intact.

Jack followed this up with more background info regarding Inslaw and PROMIS which was sold to the Canadian government by the Reagan-Bush administration for its computer systems which contained a backdoor, and thus were compromised. (Incidentally, this was at the time of the Free Trade negotiations with Canada, and it has been alleged that the US govt spied upon the Canadian negotiators with this software and knew their positions, demands and expectations in advance). But, as Jack explained, there was also an Israeli connection. He went on in detail, listing names of individuals, companies, governmental and criminal organizations involved in the drug trade. He named the Mossad as the prime benefactor of the illicit drug trade of the Columbian cartels.

Jim Keith (September 21, 1949 – September 7, 1999). American author best known for the books "Black Helicopters Over America" and "The Octopus", co-written with Kenn Thomas, which details conspiracy theories around the death of reporter Danny Casolaro. The book is based on the notes of Danny Casolaro, who reportedly killed himself, although Keith and Thomas examine the case for foul play in their book.

Keith authored popular books on conspiracy topics, including Mind Control/World Control, Black Helicopters I and II, OK Bomb, Saucers of the Illuminati, Casebook on Alternative 3, Casebook on the Men In Black and many others. His views are considered unapologetically controversial.

One of the underlying themes of Keith's works is that the UFO phenomenon is, in fact, of entirely earthly origin and has its roots within a parallel program of technological development. Keith maintained a steadfast commitment to the earthly-origin theory, and he believed that there was a concerted effort to put forth the extraterrestrial hypothesis into the public consciousness.

In September 1999, Jim Keith fell from a stage and broke his knee at the 1999 Burning Man Arts Festival held from August 30 - September 7 at the Black Rock Desert in Nevada about 120 miles north of his hometown of Reno. On September 7, he entered the Washoe Medical hospital for knee surgery and died in the Intensive Care Unit shortly after surgery was completed when a blood clot released and entered his lung. The coroner's report listed cause of death as "blunt force trauma." Cryptically, Keith stated just before being put under anaesthetic, "I have this feeling that if they put me under I'm not coming back". He is survived by two daughters.

Jerry E. Smith (RIP March 8, 2010), writer, researcher, activist, editor and lecturer returns to discuss his close friend Jim Keith and their work together. Mr. Smith's life-long political and environmental activism and research has resulted in the publication of scores of news stories, opinion pieces and several books. He is best known for his work on weather manipulation and warfare. Jim Keith (RIP September 7, 1999) was an American author, best known works are "Black Helicopters Over America" and "The Octopus", co-written with Kenn Thomas, which details conspiracy theories around the death of reporter Danny Casolaro. Keith wrote other relatively popular books on conspiracy topics, including Mind Control/World Control, Black Helicopters I and II, OK Bomb, Saucers of the Illuminati, Casebook on Alternative 3,

Listen peasant like I said, i'm busy with like and posting off my $3,000 cash paid no contract Mobiado Grand Touch EM Marble smartphone, obviously engineered by some low IQ Bangalore based peasant who couldn't get autocorrect to work properly. Dont blame me blame racial evolution.

We destroyed you on the Sandy hook thread, probably more but I don't remember you all that much as you were always a low quality poser who nobody noticed.

I have the intelligence, script writing skills, money and contacts to put an end to your mediocre internet career so tread carefully when you reply to me next peasant. My father could buy and sell your entire family with his couch change.

Dont even think of calling my mother to talk about my web behaviour like that gross 40 year old Danish dude did, Ive spoken to mom at length and she is more than comfortable with me dismantling white race traitor sheeple like you on the net or IRL.
